About
The character '锋' derives from its traditional form '鋒', which combines the metal radical '金' with the phonetic component '夆', indicating both its association with metallic objects and its pronunciation. Originally denoting the sharp point or edge of a weapon or tool, such as a sword or plow, its meaning gradually broadened to encompass any leading or projecting point, including metaphorical uses in terms like '先锋' for vanguard, thus extending its reference from physical sharpness to conceptual prominence.
